This subject examines the paradoxes of contemporary globalization. Through lectures, discussions and student presentations, we will study the cultural, linguistic, social and political impact of globalization across broad international borders and on specific language communities. We will consider answers to key questions such as: What are the contending definitions of globalization? What are the principal agents of change? How have those agents of change been transformed in our contemporary world? What's new, what's hybrid, and what's traditional? What does it mean to be a world citizen? How can world citizens preserve cultural specificity?

This is a graduate course in labor economics. The course will focus on covering theory and evidence on inequality, wage structure, skill demands, employment, job loss, and early-life determinants of long-run outcomes. Particular areas of focus are: (1) wage determination, including the Roy model, equalizing wage differentials, and models of discrimination; (2) the roles played by supply, demand, institutions, technology and trade in the evolving distribution of income.

I traveled to the Calais migrant and refugee camp from March 14 to 16, together with a humanitarian student group from Brasenose College that collected donations and supplies to aid local NGOs with clothing and basic medical supplies. This article is based on my impressions of the camp and interviews with the migrants, refugees and NGO workers.

This course relies on primary readings from the database community to introduce graduate students to the foundations of database systems, focusing on basics such as the relational algebra and data model, schema normalization, query optimization, and transactions. It is designed for students who have taken 6.033 (or equivalent); no prior database experience is assumed, though students who have taken an undergraduate course in databases are encouraged to attend.

This is a freshman advising seminar. The professor of a FAS is the first year advisor to the (no more than 8) students in the seminar.
The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) in a wide variety of applications has exploded in the last few years. In this seminar we explore how positions on the Earth were determined before GPS; how GPS itself works and the range of applications in which GPS is now a critical element. This seminar is followed by a UROP research project in the spring semester where results from precise GPS measurements will be analyzed and displayed on the Web. This is a freshman advising seminar.

The International Law (M)OOC (ILOOC) from the University of Northampton does not require users to have had any previous experience or practice in International Law. It is intended to give a flavour of the topic, and to provide a foundation upon which further study in the area may be built. At the University of Northampton we partly use ILOOC as the âMOOCâ part of a wider CPD course, which gives access to our LLM (Master of Laws) courses. The course is available as a MOOC on Coursesites (http://bit.ly/ILOOC-Site), free of charge for any learner to enrol and participate. This ZIP file contains the main course content and can be directly transferred into a Learning Management System (LMS) that supports the IMS/SCORM import.

Recorded on May 14, 2014.
The 2013-14 series concludes Wednesday, May 14, with Russell Turner, head coach of UCI?s men?s basketball team. Coach Turner was named 2014 Big West Conference Coach of the Year and NABC District 9 Coach of the Year after leading the Anteaters to their first league regular-season title in 12 years and second consecutive 20-win season. He was named UCI?s head coach in 2010, after serving the previous six seasons as an assistant coach for the NBA?s Golden State Warriors, following positions at Stanford University and Wake Forest University.
?What Matters to Me and Why? encourages reflection about values, beliefs and motivations in the lives of those who shape our university. The series explores personal journeys ? choices made, difficulties encountered, commitments formed and joys revealed ? with the hope that these stories will help us to understand diverse pathways in life, work and leadership. Such understandings are crucial for fortifying tolerance, strengthening bonds, and supporting the virtues that make UC Irvine a great institution.

Professor Glover outlined the moral panic around aliens and Chinese labour in the 1906 election, relating the debate to the 1905 Aliens Act and to Chinese indentured layout to South Africa. Migration scholars and NGOs have often sought to disassociate popular associations between criminality and immigration: migrants are not criminals, nor are they necessarily more likely to commit crime. But this risks ignoring important relationships between immigration and criminality, both 'immigrant' and 'criminal' for example, are set in opposition to the (good) citizen, both are important administrative categories for states, and comprise groups upon whom the state can exercise significant degrees of coercion. Both are highly racialised. There are also historical continuities: mobility has long Wales; http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/
